Hey guys I am creating a user account page where the user can access their account details from the users table, I want to have a few links on the account page that will allow them to do certain things with their information, such as view, change, edit password. So I was trying to make these options links that returned the same page but clicking a link sets a php variable to say 1, 2 or 3 and I have 3 queries written out and and if statement setting a condition if variable = 1 then run and display this query, or another etc...

I was doing this by creating a link like this:

<li><a href='myaccount.php?userinfo=1'>View account info</a></li>

At the top of the page I have the variable set to 0 $userinfo = 0;

I cannot get this to work, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? The idea is that I can return the information from the table depending on what link the user clicks on.

Mandes, that worked perfectly, so I implemented it into my code and it didn't work, I tried forever and couldn't get additional PHP code to fit in with it. Here is my complete script, can you see how this doesn't work at all?
